Synopsis:
In a world where loyalty is earned and betrayal is a way of life, a new deadlier terrorist threat has emerged - the freelance killer. The Cold War may be over but at the forefront of the new world is a group of covert mercenaries whose skills in surveillance, reconnaissance and attack are for sale to the highest bidder. Five of these operatives, known as "Ronin", are assembled in Paris by a mysterious client for a dangerous mission: steal a top-secret briefcase.
What seems a straight-forward assignment soon becomes a deadly pursuit as other underworld organisations vie for the same prize. Betrayer becomes betrayed as the film reaches its shattering climax. Featuring some of the most exciting, stomach-churning car chases ever committed to film, Ronin is a tough, uncompromising thriller that will leave you breathless. Literally.
